When To Select The Extra Soft Down Pillow?
A pillow can either provide your neck with comfort and support or a day of misery and discomfort when you wake up. To prevent the day of misery you have to make sure you buy the right density pillow for your preferred sleeping position. If the proper density is chosen you will never have to worry about that dreaded neck pain again. Your pillow will become your cloud of comfort; although if you have never shopped for a pillow before it can be extremely overwhelming when three different densities are sprung your way. How do you know when it's appropriate to buy that extra soft down pillow rather than the firm density pillow? This article addresses the three different densities of pillows that are out there and how you choose which density is appropriate for you.
To start off, the three densities of down pillows are soft, medium, and firm. Unlike foam pillows, down pillows surround the sleeper's head with luxury and comfort. They don't lose their loftiness or softness after a night's or even year's use. The firm density pillow is for side sleepers. This applies to 50% of the people out in the world. The firmness is needed in order to provide the proper support between the shoulders and the neck. It is generally thought the larger the pillow size the more room the filling has to move, meaning there is less concentrated support. It is recommended that if you want one that has a firm density that you buy a jumbo size because it is one of the smaller firm density pillows.
The next type of pillow would be a medium density pillow. This density is for back sleepers. About 25% of people are back sleepers. Less support is needed when sleeping on your back.
The soft density pillow applies to the remaining 25% of sleepers. It is for the stomach and face sleepers out there. The soft down pillow is recommended so the breathing area is not obstructed by the pillows material. DOWNLITE carries an extra soft down pillow that is has come back by popular requests. It is also know as a face pillow. This soft down pillow comes in two versions; a white duck down pillow which has blue stripe fabric and the white goose down which is solid white fabric. Both are considered a basic white down pillow only with a soft density. The white goose down pillow and the white duck down feel similar but both are offered in order to satisfy all customers.
All pillows from DOWNLITE are hypoallergenic and machine washable and dryable unless they contain silk or rayon fabrics. It is highly recommended that you check the tags on your pillow before throwing them in the wash. It is recommended that when you purchase your soft down pillow, you also get a pillow protector in order to keep makeup and skin oils from ruining it. It is also easier to wash the pillow protectors regularly with your other bedding while then only washing your pillows a couple times a year.(Stevan Hunter)

How to Choose Fixtures for New Bathrooms
When remodelling your bathroom you will likely be replacing the vanity, tub or shower, as well as the toilet. These items anchor the decor scheme of the entire room and to make the best of new bathrooms you need to know how to choose the best fixtures. Based on your needs, budget and tastes in decor, choosing new fixtures will take time but help your remodelling project turn out well.
Sink and Vanity
Used in both a two piece cloakroom and a full bath, the sink and vanity is often the main visual piece in the bathroom. Like it or not, this fixture will become the focal point, so choose wisely.
For new bathrooms that are more compact and tight fitting, opt for a pedestal sink and skip the vanity altogether. If you have another area in the home where the bathroom supplies can be stored, a vanity is unnecessary and will take up valuable space. Pedestal sinks in light colours will help a room to feel larger and brighter.
If you have the room, designing a double vanity with two sinks is a wise idea, especially in an en-suite bathroom. With an extra large mirror across the wall, this type of fixture set up allows two people to use the space without bumping into each other. It is an efficient and valuable addition to the bathroom.
If you don't need a second sink consider installing an extra wide vanity and placing the sink to one side, creating the perfect dressing table. Or for a bolder look, opt for a sink that is surface mounted on the counter. These contemporary sinks work well with low vanities and present a modern look with all of the traditional function and durability. Glass sinks are especially nice in this design.
Shower and Tub
Whether you install a shower and tub combination or simply go with a shower enclosure, this is a functional fixture that will make or break the entire room. Look for glass doors to help the bathroom feel more open and bright. Specialty shower packs can transform a tight corner of the room into a neat shower, while more expansive new bathrooms can include a walk in shower or even a steam room.
Toilet
This is not just the most functional fixture in your bathroom, it's also the piece used most often. Choose a model that will fit in well with the overall theme of the room. For space saving you could choose a corner toilet or for a dramatic modern feeling, wall hung models are popular.
Fixtures make or break the design of new bathrooms. Choose the best looking, most highly functional models to create a room that dazzles and functions well each time you walk in.(Phillip Adams-Wright)
